Relationships can be the place of incredible love, passion, intimacy, commitment and kindness but it also is the place of hurt, dysfunction, pain and anger.

Communication and the way we express ourselves is one of the keys to a kind, happy and loving relationship. Why do so many couples find it difficult to be honest and truthful with each other - in a kind and loving way rather than causing hurt and pain?

We are all human, and it's natural that couples have a difference of opinion, expectations and needs in a relationship and it's important these are expressed in an honest, kind, loving and truthful way.
​
Many couples often go around in circles stuck in their communication styles which are not productive, helpful and leads t further dysfunction. With each person begins to play a little game of being passive aggressive, or perhaps gives the silent treatment, avoid conflict (and in the process disconnect from their partner)

Then there is the fully fighting couple who are not afraid to yell and argument where nothing is held back - with the intent to hurt the other. In the heat of the moment, they are focusing on each of their own anger and being right - rather than working together to move forward.

I want to share this gem of a video with you - on what happens if arguments were honest?
